Tokyo Sumidagawa Youth Hostel

There are no lifts in this hostel. The rooms were very smelly and the place was very dated. Glad I only had to stay here one night. It was within reasonable distance to a family mart and metro station which were the only positives I found with this hostel. I won't be staying here again.

There is no lift No shoes in the room Gender specific bathrooms on certain floors - ie stairs to navigate just to go to the toilet at night. No towels provided. Wi-Fi is terrible. All first world problems but based on other ratings I expected a little more. Having said that, definitely not the worst hostel I've ever stayed in. Be particularly careful with which underground station to get off at as well Asakusabashi is the closest and exit 1 (or possibly 4, I can't remember now) is just a short street away. Google will tell you Kuramae is close but it's not really in comparison!

Located a bit off the centre (but close to a metro-station and shops) this hostel offers spacious dorms (each bed with locker and lamp plus curtain), a kitchen, common-area, enough bathrooms and showers and stable/fast wifi. The staff is friendly and helpful. Security is good. A good place to stay for a short time.
